While most shows and films will have a main character, they're not necessarily the *best* character. Sometimes, there's someone else who steals the show every time they're on the screen.
Well, recently u/iamharoldshipman (not a username we control!) asked the folks over at r/popculturechat: "What side character is better than the main character?" We've picked out some of the best responses...
7."I'd die for Sydney (from The Bear). The birthday party for her mom, and her quietly realising she's now older than her mom was... Such a heartbreakingly understated scene. Sydney is love, Sydney is life."
8."Dylan O'Brien as Stiles made Teen Wolf for me. I get that he was supposed to represent the audience with his 'humanness', but his personality and mannerisms captivated me. I would have 100% watched a Stiles-centric spin-off."
11."Darius is the best part of Atlanta. Earn’s too obsessed with seeming cool to maximize his advantages, and Al’s got self-esteem issues that eclipse his success."
17."Samwise Gamgee (from The Lord of the Rings). No doubt about it. I could write a whole graduate thesis on how he is the perfect secondary character, BUT I WON'T."
